If You Favor Reduction of Taxes
Speak.

speak.
1t now seems highly probable that Con-
gress will adjourn without passing any
measure for the reduction OF taxes. Why
this shall be done We are totally at q loss to
understand.
1t is perfectly clear to the comprehension
OF every reasonable man that the receipts Of
revenue are greatly In excess Of the needs
of the government. 1t is wholly impracti-
caple to provide for the judicious expendi-
ture Of the increasing surplus upon neces.
sary public works.
The extra 800, 900, 900 which will annually
be collected represent so much of the hard
earnings of the people This money Is not
needed and therefore should not be exacted
from the people.
In our Judgment It will be serious mis-
take for Congress to adjourn without pass.
Ing some measure for the reduction of
taxes. Why not take the tax Off tobacco
and cigars and the dealers In those articles9
This would result in reduction of $2S,-
100000, and would relieve 100000 people
from paying special taxes.
AS early as December last Senator Ma
hone introduced bill to repeal these taxes,
but 1t was pushed aside by the finance com.
mittee upon the ground of want of juris-
diction. No such objection eau now be
raised to senatorial action. The finance
committee has before it revenue bill No.
2522; to this measure IL is entirely compe-
tent to attach an amendment repeating the
entire tax on tobacco.
The action OF Senator Msbone has at
tracted considerable Democratic comment
In Virginia. We quote below from late
issue of the Lynchburg Nelps:
aAHONE AND THE TOBACCO TAX.
"The Register learns from n private source
that Senator Malone will prob ably introduce
bill in the Senate looking to the abolition OF
The tobacco tax. He will do this, of course,
for political effect, and we may well ask why
he never did 1t before but there Is little doubt
that II this measure were introduced by
Malone II would help his party aud hurt the
Democrats in Virginia and North Carolina. -
DdRriie Register.
Malone sees his opportunity, and he is too
maIt to let 1t slip. He thinks that he can
place the Democrats ut disadvantage, aud he
will not fail 10 do 1t II possible. If he can get
me TAX fepeal passed by inc Senate ana II
does not 90 through the House, 1t will be q
severe blow TO the Democracy in all the to-
laCco states. We have before US now really
strong speech of his delivered in the Senate in
favor OF the repeal Of the tobacco aud fruit
brandy tax. 1t brlstles with telling figures.
This speech, OF course, is being widely dilsemi-
mated IN Virginia, and viii make an impress
sion.
Not that VIC believe Gen, Malone really
cares whether the tax is repealed or not, 81 he
can make political capital out OF the matter.
That be is making i, cannot be doubted, And

THE Nashville american, Democratic
paper Of high standing, makes this uuklnd
and untrutbful remark upon Senator Voor.
hees and his son, Delegate Voorhees,, of
Washington territory:
Any scheme for plundering the treasury is
likely to find much favor with the Voorhees,
family.
Politically "the Voorhees, family are the
antipodes Of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,,
but their honesty is beyond question. The
Senator has been in public life for thirty
years--much against our wish--but We
have never heard even mint against his
integrity. His son is, also, gentleman Of
excellent repute. But 1t is not very strange
to find such calumny as the above in the
leading Democratic organ of state that
has repudiated Its bonds in the Peabody
fund while receiving the benefits Of that
great charity.

fthe Democrats are not stark mad they will
do their utmost yet to get the tax abolished be-
that is, II they would save Virginia and other
tobacco states. There is yet time enough
with consent OF his highness the speaker: and
we beg the Democrats Of the House of Repre-.
sentatives, for the good OF the party and the
good Of tho people, to sink their chickering's and
their riyalries ana unite on this benign meas
ure, which in both an industrial and party
sense will do much good. In the two weeks
that yet remain there is ample time TO raise
this outrageous burden from the oppressed
and groaning people,
We are glad to see the Nc,Os approving
the conduct of Senator Malone even under
the cover Of an expressed doubt Of his sim
cerity.
We suggest to the Ncps that II is a very
safe rule to attribute n good motive 10 the
doing Of good act.
We again urgently request the Repuhli-
cans Of the Senate TO pass a bill repeating
the tobacco tax and throw the responsibility
upon the Democratic House OF refusing TO
concur In such measure.

AT the Washington's birthday banquet 10
Brooklyn Gov. David B. Hill took some
pains to express his opinion Of President
Cleveland in unmistakable terms. He al

he took occasion to say also
TIE suggestion that there have b,en or are
Democrats who are not responsible for any
faults Of their party-or, In other words, DEM

THE unfortunate disagreement between

to the phraseology Of the dependent pen
sion bill induces the NATIONAL REPUBLI.
CAN to memorialize Congress to pass the
following bill, which, as near as may be,
is In the language Of the President in bis
last annual message recommending. the
passage of such bill:
Whereas every patriotic heart responds to
tender consideration for those who, having
served their country long and we'll, are reduced
TO destitution and dependence, not as an Incl
dent of their service. but with advancing age
orthrough sickness or misfortune;
Whereas we are all tempted by the contem.
pation Of such n condition to supply reliei,
and are often impatient of the Limitations Of
public duty;
Whereas, yielding to no one in the desire to
indulge this feeling of consideration, we can
not rid ourselves of the conviction that, II
these ex. x.soldiers are to be relieved, they and
their cause are entitled to the benefit OF an en-.
actment under which relief may be claimed
Rs q right, aud that such relief should be
granted under the sanction of law, not in
evasion of IT, nor should such worthy objects
of care, all equally entitled, be remitted to the
unequal operation of sympathy or the tender
mcrcies of social and political influence with
their unjust determinations;
Whereas, hitherto such relief has been
granted to surviving soldiers, few in number
venerable in age, after q long lapse of time
iiuce their military service, and as parting
bcnefaction rendered by a grateful people.
Therefore,
Be Il enacted, dc that all Union soldiers who
served long and well and are reduced TO desti.
tuition and dependence, not as an incident Of
their service, but from advancing age or
through sickness or misfortune are entitled
as right TO be placed on the pension rolls aud
receive the sum of sl2 per month out of any
money in the treasury not Otherwise appro-
priated.
